Chapter Eleven
Flashback
"Chris!" Piper called. "Sweetie, are you coming. I would like to wish my baby boy a happy birthday."
"I'll be down in a minute," Chris answered.
"Wow," Piper said turning towards her sisters, "I can't believe my son is turning fourteen."
"It seems like just yesterday he was just a baby," Phoebe chimed in.
Paige then inquired, "So what exactly are we going to do for the big day?"
"Wyatt and Lexy said that they were going to through a surprise party for him. They're out getting stuff for it as we speak."
"Lexy is starting to seem like part of the family now, isn't she?" Paige then said.
"Well, you never know," Phoebe added. "Maybe someday she will be."
As much as Piper did like Lexy she was not ready to think about her oldest son's wedding. "You guys are thinking way to far ahead in the future. Wyatt is only sixteen years old. He's not near ready to get married."
Just then Chris marched down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Alright, I'm here. So what are we going to do?" He did not seem at all excited about his birthday.
"Oh, come on Chris," Phoebe said surprised at her nephew's attitude. "You should be more joyful. For heaven's sake, it's your fourteenth birthday!"
"I am happy," Chris responded.
"Could have fooled me," Paige said.
Piper was beginning to get concerned. "Sweetheart, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing," Chris answered.
But Piper knew what was wrong. "Chris is this about your father again."
"No," Chris replied too quickly. "Well, yes, actually. He's not coming today is he?"
Paige and Phoebe figured that Piper and Chris needed to be alone so they decided to go upstairs and get ready for the party."
After they left Piper continued, "Chris, I'm sorry, but he just does not have time to visit, but he will be watching over you, especially today."
"It's not the same. Why can't he just take a couple of lousy minutes to come see me on my birthday? How hard can that be?"
"Chris, he would be glad to visit us more often, but now that he is an elder he has got more responsibilities."
"What about his responsibilities to his family! Doesn't he care, at least a little?"
"Look, Chris…" but before Piper could finish her sentence a demon materialized in the corner of the kitchen and blasted a fireball directly at Chris and Piper knocking them both to the ground. Piper tried to blow him up but this demon seemed to be immune to her powers.
"Phoebe, Paige!" Piper called for her sisters. "Demon! Chris get out of here, now!"
Phoebe zoomed down the stairs almost as quick as Paige orbed in. "Knife!" Paige yelled orbing the knife right into the demon's stomach.
But the demon simply pulled the knife right back out. "No witch has ever been able to kill me," he said in a dangerous voice. He then cast the same dagger stabbing Paige in the heart. She fell down dead within seconds.
"No!" Phoebe and Piper cried out devastated. They never had a chance to say anything else. The wretched demon then hurled another fireball at Phoebe and she was vanquished into thin air.
The demon then turned towards Piper. "And then there were none," he bellowed as he cast a dagger into Piper stomach and then disappeared.
"NO!" Chris cried running into she room by his mother's side. "Mom, wake up! Please wake! You can't leave me, not now!"
But it was too late. Piper was dead and there was nothing Chris could do to change it, but he refused to give up. "Dad! Dad, get your ass down here. We need you. I need you!"
Chris called for his father at least fifty times but Leo never came. At that same moment, Wyatt and Lexy arrived home only to find the sisters dead and Chris wailing over his mother's body.
"Chris, what happened!" Wyatt yelled outraged. "Who did this?"
"A…a demon killed them," Chris whimpered still sobbing. Lexy rushed over and put her arms around him to comfort him. Wyatt did not cry, but his eyes were filled with rage and hatred. Whoever murdered his mother and his aunts were suffer greatly because of him, he promised himself. This anger began to frighten Chris.
"Wyatt, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to hunt down that bastard that killed our family and make him wish he had never been born," Wyatt answered in a deadly voice. "I will destroy all the demons and anyone who gets in my way!"
Lexy was worried now, too. "Wyatt, please think about this. You're angry and upset. You don't know what you're doing."
"Actually, Lexy, I have never been surer of anything in my life. Now you are either with me or against me."
"What about Dad?" Chris asked his brother.
"He's not coming for us, Chris. We are on our own now. Besides we don't need him. We don't need anyone. Not anymore."
Present
The more Chris thought back on that dreadful day, the more he realized that was when Wyatt begun to change. But that still didn't help him figure out what he should do now to change it. Now, Wyatt is the source of all evil and he abducted his baby self. Chris wished that there was some easy way out of this mess, but he could not think of any possible way. All he wanted more than anything was for things to be the way they were before he lost all his family and when Wyatt was still good.
